After a lot of pain and debugging, can how support EDIDs loaded from initrd. 🎉 :blobfoxaww:

It's still in a PR stage, but it does work when compressFirmware = false set.

Finally, I can overclock my monitor on Wayland. :blobfoxbongo:

@soupglasses Looks super interesting, but I'm not entirely following the goal of providing these files. Is it primarily to provide correct EDID data for a display which self-reports incorrect data to the host?

@AngryAnt You can do that, but nowadays it is much more common to use it to overclock your monitor.

Basically where you pull your EDID, use software like "AW EDID Editor" to change its timings. Then use the linux kernel to override the display port's EDID for any connected monitor.

I use this strategy to overclock my 100Hz monitor to 115Hz, for example.

@soupglasses So in these instances, the self-reported data is correct, but the actual hardware supports more than what is reported in it and specifying those numbers then unlock the full hardware potential?
